Important Safety/Recall Notices

Metabo Corporation takes product safety matters seriously and continuously tests products to assure safe operation. An internal quality audit has found that under heavy use conditions, metal dust can build up in the switch of the Rat tail angle grinder with brake, causing it to stick in the on position. Because of the potential for injury, a product recall has been initiated.
